Description
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present invention generally relates to a playable doll. More particularly, the invention relates to a doll playset with a detachably coupled wig cap, to facilitate a user to use different wigs with a single doll.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

The subject matter discussed in this background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention herein. Similarly, any problems mentioned in this background section or associated with the subject matter of this background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter as disclosed in this background section merely represents different approaches related to configuring a detachable wig apparatus on a doll, and more particularly configuring the apparatus on a doll head, wherein such apparatuses themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology and invention.

People throughout the world collect and play with dolls. Various types of dolls are collected due to multiple reasons, ranging from fine detail and delicate features of the doll to functionality and adornment of the doll, including, for example, speech and change of dressing, respectively. Doll makers may dress dolls with simple outfits or with very extravagant dresses and with hair made from the finest materials. In various aspects, natural facial features are extremely important because they portray the doll in a life-like appearance. Furthermore, the natural appearance of the dolls may be attributed to the amount of detail used in constructing the doll including the doll's facial features, hands, fingers, hair, etc. Based on the user's requirement, more features are added to the dolls, such as the eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, and the shading of the lips and cheeks.

Unlike wigs or hair-replacements for humans, doll hair possesses different requirements. In a first example, a doll's wig needs to cover and conceal the top of the doll's head. Secondly, dolls are not subject to inclimate weather. Thirdly, human hair-replacements, unlike doll hair, is subject to wear and tear as a result of styling processes such as brushing, combing, and washing. Furthermore, unlike human scalps, the scalps of dolls do not need to breathe. Even further, because the scalps of doll heads do not need to be in contact with air, perspiration and breathing problems do not exist with the hair and scalp of dolls. Because of these differences, doll designers do not look to human hair-replacements to acquire doll wigs or learn new manufacturing designs and techniques.

Prior art, for various aspects contained therewithin, relevant to this disclosure includes U.S. design Pat. No. 6,527,618 to Faunda and U.S. Pat. Publication No 2012/0208428 to Zheng. In each of these prior art references, a doll or a toy with replaceable hair or wigs is disclosed. However, neither of the prior art references presents an ideal solution to the problem of using multiple wigs with a single doll.

In particular, reference '618 to Faunda discloses a doll head and doll wig combination in which the head has a pate. The doll wig includes a thin cap that securely fits to the doll's head. The thin cap includes a substantially translucent polymer material that conforms to the shape of the head of the doll. A plurality of hairs extends from the cap. The spaced relationship of the plurality of hair filaments may show thinning, a balding pattern, or thick hair. An adorned covering for the pate provides a natural skin tone which is seen through the translucent polymer material. The cap may also have a netting portion with an adjustment mechanism to fit a variety of doll head sizes. However, unlike the subject matter of the disclosed invention, Faunda does not disclose the use of magnets to attach the wigs with the doll head. Further, Faunda does not disclose the aspect of using magnets housed in an eco-friendly plastic material to couple the wig to the doll head.

Reference '428 to Zheng discloses a doll assembly with a torso having a neck, at least one arm, and at least one leg. The doll assembly has at least one head having a plurality of faces on different sides of the head, each face having one nose, one mouth, a pair of eyes, and a pair of ears, the head further having a first connector at a bottom portion thereof that removably connects the neck, and a second connector at a top portion thereof. The doll assembly further includes at least one wig having a wig connector that removably connects the second connector to secure the wig to the top portion of the head. However, unlike the subject matter of the disclosed invention, Zheng does not disclose the use of magnets to attach the wigs with the doll head. Further, Zheng does not disclose the aspect of using magnets housed in an eco-friendly plastic material to couple the wig to the doll head.

Given the deficiencies of the prior arts, the need remains for an effective and improved apparatus to quickly and easily couple a flexible and conforming wig to a variably-shaped doll's head which facilitates a user to use a plurality of different wigs with a single doll.
